I think most LSU fans would have been really patient with Lane in Year 1 and not demanded playoff overnight or anything, but he has clearly decided he wants to win and win now

The replies full of people arguing that what happened was Dems changed their minds in 3o minutes because people got mad and made posts on bluesky is a pretty bleak window into the worst impulses of this site.

a big problem here is the way every scrap of a claim about Democrats supposedly selling out gets hyped and inflated, and then even when it turns out to be untrue people remember it as having happened, or as having almost happened. Builds bad mental models.

I know we're on text-based social media but you can wait to have takes, especially when a report is quite explicitly in-process reporting

the post everyone got mad about for two hours has been updated turns out it's the opposite actually

They said they're gonna put him in an orange jumpsuit 😂😂

Feels like this is one of those things that people on Bluesky complain that Democrats don't say

if i were someone regularly appearing on ESPN from a home setup, i would: 1) commission good fakes of the art stolen from the Gardner museum in 1990 2) exclusively decorate my backdrop with those fakes 3) wait until the internet noticed this 4) never offer public comment

I'm unsure as to how he could tell them things that would make them want to leave seeing as we were told that the players only went there for Portal Pete Golding

This is the "Hurricane Katrina" rant levels of unhinged youtu.be/-XILSCWH4Kc?...

I thought they were banning “heavyweight” as in the division & thought “finally a good decision”

The Mets should follow-up signing Bo Bichette by taking the honorable way out and announcing they will leave Framber Valdez to the Orioles

a year in and trump is in free fall with the public across every conceivable issue

You, a scared baby: Oh no the health of the sport Me, a wise sage: lmao eat shit toronto cito still sucks.

$240m over 4 years is an unhinged contract lmao FUCK the Blue Jays

Ole Miss fans getting excited about all the LSU guys they think they were gonna get because they hired Frank Wilson only to lose like half a dozen guys in the portal right at the buzzer is such a sick bit

have fully mentally prepared for the orioles to sign zac gallen

Dana Scully

1) obvious hilarious copypasta potential 2) I think Tomlin could legit be a cult leader if he wanted. The level of adoration he commands is astonishing. The only comparable in sports I can think of is like….Early Jose Mourinho before he lost his mind

Begging more people to recognize the difference between "Trump says" and "Trump has the capacity to do."

I think it's a bad fit, but the reasoning really isn't hard to figure out Ravens are Top 10 or even Top 5 in wins in basically every single time frame you'd want to set up (3 years, 5 years, 10 years, 15 years.) Every owner/GM has wanted to be like the Ravens for 20 years. Wasn't like that in 07

11.2 WAR from your top 5 starters is not really not bad at all, but I really, really would like one more guy touching where Bradish is at

LSU has gone from 0 scholarship QBs to….maybe the best QB room in college football?

The PTSD Orioles fan in me thinks that they are fucked, because by all accounts Suarez was their top target all winter. The optimistic and maybe rational Orioles fan in me thinks there’s no way they say no to the deal he got if they didn’t feel really good about some other oven in the fire

Man I am getting a completely different takeaway from this chart than everyone else. This is a sign that electoral politics isn’t really about policy or messaging, it’s about large groups of people reacting to events. People don’t hear arguments, they see things happening and change their stances.

Sirianni calls the plays himself

Steelers are a 20 year hire type franchise. The only one left of that ilk, but it’s still how they think They’re gonna try and hire Marcus Freeman, likely pivot to Jesse Minter. If the LaFleur option became available again I think they might try that too

Every one got fired except for Zac Taylor lmao

he got handed some horrible offenses and made that shit work to still win games. totally fair to point out that some of the offensive shortcomings were due to his preferences, but dammit if he couldn't coach his ass off to get a team to buy in and play hard as hell

My prediction is Tomlin takes the year off and if it’s open, goes to Washington

really good bit

I think certain people are going to get mad about a Markakis vote but I think a good yet obviously not-HOF guy getting one cap tip vote is charming

And the crazy thing is for like 2/3rds of the game he almost wasn’t the worst QB on the field

Folks. Listen. I want you to look at me when I say this. Gather around I have been to this man's home. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even own the house anymore, cause he lost it. I want you think about me and then think if a someone who has had me over to their home is going to be fucking King of Iran

Harbaugh and Tomlin need to switch jobs. For the good of the country. For content. For us.

The worst part about this last 6-7 years or whatever is it’s going to do a detriment to his legacy and that’s a shame Winning 1 Super Bowl and making 2 is so fucking hard. Sean Payton has never been back after 09. Kyle Shanahan has blown like 3. Jim Harbaugh didn’t win his. Dan Reeves lost 4

I’m a nice guy who tries to get the hate out of my heart, so I’ve found the Rodgers thing this decade to be profoundly tragic. No one else does and that’s obviously the fair position. But that’s how it’s come off for me the last few years

There are genuine 2000 Ravens/2015 Broncos with this Texans unit. I think if Stroud just doesn’t turn the ball over the rest of the way they’re golden, they will win the whole thing But any team aside from Pittsburgh beats them with how awful that offense was tonight

I see people reading posts about what the ICE agents assigned to these raids or what have you are feeling and their mindset and reacting with "good, that's how they should feel" and like, yeah maybe so, but I feel like these dudes tilting over the edge is decidedly NOT what you want

Stroud in one game has had like the 5 dumbest plays a QB has made all season. It’s a yackety sax bit

The Steelers offense trying to move the ball is like watching a 9 year old play Elden Ring on lethal difficulty and the Texans offense is CJ Stroud punching himself in the nuts

The beauty of this game is you can just feel one more insanely stupid thing is going to happen that decides it

Whoever Pittsburgh’s RT is is having the all time #1 “burn the tape” game. Don’t even watch it brother. Don’t bother

Metcalf's blocking on the edge is a serious problem. I don't think you can really claim to be a truly elite WR if you aren't willing to block

The beautiful thing is I believe this statement is still true

Steelers are 0/6 I believe and have 6. As stupid a game as we expected

I think CJ Stroud still has at least one more of The Most Perplexing Turnovers You Have Ever Seen in him

Stroud with a Justin Herbert Level performance so far

If Sam Leavitt can get healthy before end of spring and be 100% recovered by the fall, he really is like the exact QB Lane loves. Easy to see why it came together. Could be a huge hit Now, if they can get this Longstreet kid from USC to still sign as QB2, and have him in the boat for '27...hey now

the Texans defense is by far away the best unit in this game. and yet.
